…I hope Obama turns out to be as great as everyone anticipates–if he can get Ameica out of this mess, he’ll mostlikely have my vote in 2012.

John, I bet your absolutely right–only people who researched the candidates voted for Obama; those who did not do any research voted for McCain.

Rhonda:

If everyone actually cared to do real research on McCain, very few would ever choose him as their candidate.

He gave a moving speech the other night, but he has a long history of being a terrible guy.

What the heck is up with Alaska? Ted Stevens is a convicted felon and they’re still voting him in!

John, I have not said that McCain and Obama have lived parallel lives. The way you twist my words around, I’m wondering if you’re a politician?

I do think both men are amazing and have had incredible lives. If you actually read my post, you’ll see that I’m not unhappy that Obama is elected.

The only decent speech made by McCain was his final one. I mean that as sincerely as possible. They almost seemed as if he believed what he was saying, and showed grace.

Rhonda: You’re right, McCain and Obama have lived parallel lives.

That anyone would equate John McCain with Bush shows the power of negative campaign ads. That said, I’d agree with John Findlayson that McCain seemed out of touch. Sticking to the same old talking points for months made him seem more like a cabinet level official on a Sunday morning news show than a presidential candidate. And it allowed Obama to trounce him in the last debate.

John, I don’t think it would have been “more of the same” with McCain. At this point, how I (46% of the country) voted doesn’t matter. I do feel better today then I did when I voted in the last two elections against Bush.

Obama’s a rich guy too…don’t kid yourself.

What’s going to be crucial for our country is jobs. Friday the Jobs Report will come out and it should be a real doosy.

I voted for McCain because I obviously didn’t understand ANY issues, the current state of our country, and just wanted more of the same.

I also liked the idea of a VP who has ZERO qualifications, beyond limited experience, and speaks to me like my friends condescending mother. What else could you ask for???

It amazes me he even won a few states, but some people just love old rich guys who put the screws to everyone else.
